Django Compressor not using STATICFILES_FINDER from settings

Question

I'm trying to use Django Compressor, which seems pretty straight-forward, but for some reason I keep getting an error, specifically:

When using Django Compressor together with staticfiles, please add 'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder' to the STATICFILES_FINDERS setting

My settings.py file includes the following:

DEBUG = True

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    ...
    'compressor',
)

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_FINDER = [
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
    'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder'
]

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '_static'),
]

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

COMPRESS_ENABLED = True

I'm not sure if this is a compatibility issue with Django 1.10 (Django Compressor changelog states it is compatible with 1.10), or if Django Compressor simply is broken, since I've clearly added 'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder' to the STATICFILES_FINDERS setting. I've also tried with DEBUG=False.

Any help is appreciated.

You just miss letter S in end of the SETTINGS VARIABLES. Just change

STATICFILES_FINDER -> STATICFILES_FINDERS
